Texas Supreme Court

Joseph Curry v. J. David Curry

July 21, 1954153 Tex. 421

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment in favor of the son who received a deed, holding that the evidence presented was insufficient to support the jury's verdict of undue influence. The Court reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and concluded that the circumstances, including the beneficiary's selection of counsel and alleged fraud, did not rise to the level of undue influence or fraud required to invalidate the deed.
